abstract

A search is conducted for a low-mass charged Higgs boson produced in a top quark decay and subsequently decaying into a charm and a strange quark. The data sample was recorded in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The search is performed in the process of top quark pair production, where one top quark decays to a bottom quark and a charged Higgs boson, and the other to a bottom quark and a W boson. With the W boson decaying to a charged lepton (electron or muon) and a neutrino, the final state comprises an isolated lepton, missing transverse momentum, and at least four jets, of which two are tagged as b jets. To enhance the search sensitivity, one of the jets originating from the charged Higgs boson is required to satisfy a charm tagging selection. No significant excess beyond standard model predictions is found in the dijet invariant mass distribution. An upper limit in the range 1.68-0.25% is set on the branching fraction of the top quark decay to the charged Higgs boson and bottom quark for a charged Higgs boson mass between 80 and 160 GeV.

  1. Searching for Di-Higgs Signatures of Light Charged Scalars

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A roughly 130 GeV charged Higgs explaining the ATLAS t to bH+ excess and B-meson anomalies can be constrained, and perhaps discovered, by recasting SM di-Higgs 4b searches at the LHC.

  2. Searching for charged Higgs bosons via $e^+ e^- \to H^\pm W^\mp S$ at the ILC

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A detector-level Monte Carlo study shows that e+e- -> H± W∓ S in the type-X 2HDM could be discovered at the ILC with 500 GeV and 500 fb^-1.

  3. Probing one-loop--induced decay channel $H^\pm \to W^\pm\gamma$ in the Two Higgs Doublet Models at muon-TeV colliders

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The one-loop decay H±→W±γ is re-derived in the general Rξ gauge and used to predict that a 3 TeV muon collider could see a charged Higgs signal, though the conclusion reports only 2 sigma for several benchmarks.

  4. Fermionic decay of light charged pseudoscalar in Georgi Machacek model

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Combining the cs and tau-nu charged-Higgs channels from ATLAS and CMS, the author obtains a tighter upper limit on the triplet vev v2 for GM-model pseudoscalar masses below 160 GeV than the earlier b→sγ constraint.
